Rain Rain

The smell of earth when first few drops quench its thirst is mind blowing. I always felt that someone should recreate the smell and sell it as a perfume. I would not spray it but would surely love to smell it once in a while.

It is wonderful to sip coffee and watch it rain from the office/home window. Smoking hot tea and garma garam pakodis are a wonderful delight.

Sometimes I feel I should get out of the office and join the kids who are playing outside in the rain.

It is been years since I have played football in rain.

With all the fun and joy associated with rain there is this little troubling aspect to it.

Rains are not to be blamed; the administration and the people, including me are to be.

The streets get over flooded, traffic jams, potholes, dangerous manholes, dead roads to name a few.

It usually takes me 25-30 minutes to reach home at peak hours, but when it rains the time goes to an amazing 2 hours.

Reason half the streets are flooded, people avoid travelling on the left hand side as there is a danger of any man hole for rain water drainage be left open.

Cars travel on cycle tracks, 2 wheelers trying to sneak in from any possible way. Traffic signal not working. Traffic cops went missing. Everyone is in a hurry, unwanted overtaking,

One elderly had already died falling into an open man hole. I have seen at least 3 cars on my way stuck into mud yesterday. 2 wheeler skidding and falling. Big vehicles splashing water on people standing on roadside. Auto wallas driving rash.

I, Me, Myself..

A simple person with complex desire.

Born on October 5th, 1983 at Indore, Madhya Pradesh, India.
I am a foodie, loves spicy food as equally as sweets. I love pani-puri,(gol-gappe, phucke) and can have it anytime. I love clicking pictures of wonderfully decorated and yummy looking, yummy tasting food, I enjoy eating at various places and sometimes try my hand at cooking.
When I am not eating, I love reading books, I read a lot, and when I am reading I forget everything else, so it is hard to get my attention when I am reading
